Sammi Lawrence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

11 a.m., September 22, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we watch and discuss a conversation on \u201creligious freedom\u201d and how the phrase has been co-opted and weaponized by the religious right. There have been several recent egregious examples of how this hyper-religious minority is acting to force American society into its image \u2014 to the detriment of the rest of us.<\/p>\n

Sammi Lawrence joined the Freedom From Religion Foundation as the Anne Nicol Gaylor Legal Fellow in 2022, and is now a Staff Attorney. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, baking, and painting.<\/p>\n

Christopher Line began working full-time for FFRF as a Patrick O\u2019Reiley Legal Fellow and is now a Staff Attorney. He is an accomplished photographer whose work has appeared in The Humanist magazine, the Progressive, and FFRF\u2019s own Freethought Today.<\/p>\n
